Germany-based Lintec, a pioneer in double-screen technology and the manufacturer of 100 per cent ISO sea containers, has expanded its well-proven range of containerised asphalt plant with the launch of its new CSM 3000.

With the launch, Lintec now offers a choice of two screening technologies for its top-of-the-range containerised asphalt batching plant that offers great savings for customers and makes use of the traditional vibrating screen technology, which is still popular in many applications, particularly where space is very confined.
“Based on their requirements, clients can now opt for a vibrating screen along with a 3-tonne batching plant if it suits their application, while still taking advantage of Lintec's modular design, which is 100 per cent based on ISO-standard sea containers,” says a spokesman.
Elaborating on the product he continues: “The CSM model takes up an even smaller area than the equivalent in the CSD range because of the use of a space-saving hot elevator. One of the other main characteristics of the new model is an increased capacity of hot bins holding the screened material.
“The launch of the CSM 3000 marks a departure for Lintec, which has previously concentrated on the CSD range that uses its patented double screen drum system. Lintec has been successfully selling the CSD range for more than 10 years. The CSM 3000 sits alongside CSD models that produce batch sizes from 1.65 tonne to 3 tonne.
“In parallel with launching the CSM 3000, Lintec has also upgraded the CSD range. Both the vibrating screen and double screen drum models feature a new design of control room and an integrated collecting hopper within the storage room container. This collects oversize material. Other new advances in the CSD range include the option of six hot bins and six-fold screening.
“Like all Lintec's batching plant, the CSM 3000 is easy to transport, thanks to the company's innovative use of modules based around shipping containers. In the CSM 3000, the vibrating screen is containerised in an elevated module while the drying drum is located at ground level in a separate unit alongside the main plant.
“In contrast, the double screen drum system of the CSD range both heats the aggregate and screens it in a single operation.
“Both types of asphalt plants are built up from containerised modules, which are easy to transport to site and quick to assemble. It takes just a week to build the plant from the individual modules. Only limited use of a crane is required and there is no need for expensive foundations. The containers provide other advantages too, such as built-in weather resistance and a very rigid and compact design,” he explains.
“The stacked containers are accessed by a central stairway that is fully protected to ensure operator safety, as well as giving full access to the required levels. At the base of the plant tower, the staircase and other areas can only be accessed by one main lockable security door, thus producing a very safe plant from theft and vandalism,” the spokesman concludes.
